ADD in THAT SPY CO-STARS 2009 RAZZIE® "WINNER" BILLY RAY CYRUS, and WAS DIRECTED by 2-TIME RAZZIE® NOMINEE (and 1 TIME RAZZIE® "WINNER") BRIAN LEVANT, and YOU CAN SEE WHY CHAN IS LIKELIER to BELONG AT OUR AWARDS in SPRING of 2011 THAN THOSE HOSTED by the ACADEMY of MOTION PICTURE FARTS and SCIENTOLOGISTS.

IF HE DOES ATTEND OUR SHOW, "WINS," and MAKES a SPEECH, HE COULD BE as CHARMING as EVER. BUT by THEN, IT MAY BE TOO LATE to SALVAGE HIS ONCE SUCCESSFUL CAREER...

Everyone realizes this is part of a trilogy, right? First, there was Suburban Commando with Hulk Hogan, then there was The Pacifier with Vin Diesel, and now there is The Spy Next Door with Jackie Chan. This could actually be environmentally friendly. Put these three in a gift set and it will save Santa lots of coal during Christmas! . . .

For some reason, Hollywood thinks every generation needs an "action hero breaking type by starring in a family friendly, baby sitting" comedy. Arnold in "Kindergarten Cop" in the 1980s, then Hulk Hogan as "Mister Nanny" in the 1990s, Vin Diesel's "The Pacifier" in the 2000s, and now Jackie Chan in 2010's "Spy Next Door". What will 2020 bring us? Matt Damon in "The Bourne Daycare Center"?

The Four Horsemen of the Moviepocalypse: uncalled for sequels/remakes/reboots, 3-D surcharges, untalented "celebrities", and anything with Michael Bay's name attached to it.

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: And all 35 of 'em jointly "won" our Worst Screenplay award for 1994 -- For the morbidly curious, here's an IMDb LINK to check out the complete list of names, which we could never have fit on a RAZZIE statuette's tiny plaque. You'll have to scroll down past the MTV Award listing to read 'em, but I'm pretty sure ALL 35 WRITERS are listed...

The closest to "good" a live-action adaptation of a cartoon there has ever been was with POPEYE, JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS and/or "GEORGE" OF THE JUNGLE, but they all got mixed reviews. Not to mention that only the latter is considered faithful to its source.

Um, no. There has NEVER been a good live action adaptation to this day. Those examples are considered among the worst. "Popeye" was considered a huge bomb, "Josie" was just one long inside joke about product placement in movies, and "George", while faithful, wasn't anything to write home about. And now that the flavor of the month is Hollywood doing adaptations of Japanese anime series, which have all been bombs so far, we're not going to have that one "good" adaptation any time soon.
